All the tickets in the field stand upon a level and the voter can scarcely go wrong. For the leading office there is no opposition, and the contention will, therefore, bo in the wards for Directors. All the people ought to turn out and vote and not allow the election to go into history with a slim record. The interest the people feel in educational matters should be manifest by a large vote. So far as the election of Freeholders is con cerned that is a matter of small import ance, because a few voters will elect them as well as a great number. The Trustees having exercised their right by declaring that it is wise to choose Freeholders for charter purposes, it is not possible for the people to vote against them; they have certified to them seventeen names, from among which fifteen may be selected by each voter or new names be written in by the voter. As to the election system it is simplic ity itself. All a voter has to do is to re ceivo his ballot after announcing his reg ister number; enter a booth and sjamp opposite the names he wishes to vote for; fold his ticket from the bottom so as to leave its number (on the margin of the back) exposed; return to the ballot box, and being identified by his number, cast b^s ballot. The poll list clerks may, when the voter receives his ballot, put opposite tho name on the poll list the number of the ballot tho voter receives. When he returns they can instantly report to the Election Board the number that should appear on the back of the folded ballot, which will identify the voter, and the ballot will then be cast. Or, they may jot down the reg ister number as well in order to expedite voting. There can thus be no confusion, no crowding, no man jostled from the polls and every voter's ballot remain in ▼ialably secret. There is one thing the voters must not forget. If they stamp opposite the word "straight" they must put no stamp oppo site any name whatever; if they do the Board of Election is compelled by the law to throw out the vote. The voter can safely vote "straight. "But if he does not do so he has but three names to stamp, Super intendent and two directors. After that he can select and stamp for fifteen Free holders. It is easily done, and the man so stupid as not to be able to do it ought to lose his vote. If ho cannot read, is blind or illiterate, he can have a ballot clerk under oath to stamp his ticket for him. „. THE STREET RAILWAY MATTER. I The City Trustees are expected this morning to decide definitely upon the street electrical railway matter. It should not be put off, or construction a moment delayed. The railway company orginally wished to cross the south end at Sixth street. As a business proposition that was certainly most in the interest of the company. But the company clearly has yielded to public opinion in asking modification of its franchise, so that it can run down Third street to the Art Gallery. That was what the Trustees themselves desired, and if the grant is not now made the responsi bility of that end of the city being indefi nitely isolated and deprived of street rail way facilities will not be upon the rail way company. That corporation having conceded what the people asked of it, should be allowed to relate its Third-street line to its main | system on the east as business wisdom ! dictates. It can be safely trusted to go j the route that will yield the best revenue, j and that must be the route that will ac- j commodate the largest number of people, j The company has not, as we under- j stand, at any time entertained any thought of abandoning X street below Tenth, and it says positively that it will not be abandoned. There has been talk of abandoning it above Tenth, but there has been no decision reached, and j the matter is an open question. There have been somo consultations relative to ! turning the southeast travel down X street, as the northeast is now turned down J street. But that is not a question that is of concern in the grant for the Third and P street route. It should be at i once given, and the company urged to build and equip it, and thus relate it to its main system on the southeast as it desires, for It is, as we havo said, certain that it will not choose routes in a way to ei»<cr. travel, and it cannot therefore act SACKAMEXTO DAILY jg^ggra^grT^SßAY. B_fiS!J!mfei}_fe^? s 1891.—SIX PAGES injuriously to the interests of the largest number. The danger exists that if the Third and P street route is denied this morning, the railway company will abandon the whole j matter of crossing on a lower street, leave the Second Ward without street- j railway facilities altogether, and trust to j a future Board of Trustees granting the ! company the right to cross at Sixth street, which it has always held was the best business proposition. -*. _— — A PLAIN CASE PLAINLY STATED. That the State World's Fair Commis sion proposes to violate the law of this State and to trample its constitutional provisions under foot becomes more plainly apparent the more the subject is considered. The Legislature made an ap propriation of $300,000 for the purpose of constructing a building and collecting and maintaining an exhibit of the pro ducts of California therein. The Com mission, however, after securing the de cision of the Supreme Court favorable to the constitutionality of the appropria tion, proposes to divert it from the pur poses intended by the law and to give it to individual exhibitors, who are indi vidual advertisers, advertising private enterprises and the wares which they manufacture. Now suppose that instead of the law which was enacted, something like the following had been proposed: "Be it en acted, etc., that the sum of $800,000 is hereby appropriated from the State Treas ury, from funds not otherwise appro priated, for the purpose of paying the expenses of individual exhibitors from California to Chicago in 1893." Such a bill could not have passed the Legis lature, or either house, and there was a time at which we believe it could not have received the sanction of the Gov ernor; and if it had passed and had re ceived the sanction of the Governor, it would have been a clear infraction of the Constitution. Any other position is founded in meaningless sophistry and contemptible casuistry. The people of the State of California have enacted an organic law which protects them against paying the taxes for advertising private enterprises or the business of any indi viduals in the State; and the State Com mission in making this misuse of the public fund is accomplishing by indirec tion what never could have been accom plished by open, straightforward, direct means. It will be interesting hereafter to note, and it will be the pleasure of this paper to carefully report to the slightest detail the manner in which the money appropriated in this way is used. « The exposition of the facts in regard to the course of studies in the public schools of this city, published in the Record- Union on Saturday, created something of a sensation. Our esteemed contemporary, the Dee, warmly seconds our onslaught on the prevailing abuses, and expresses surprise that the discovery set forth in our article was not made before. NOTE AND COMMENT. W. A. Selkirk has started a daily paper at Petaluma called tho Courier. He be lieves that the community needs it and will support it. *> RAILROAD NOTES. Vestibule Cars for Oakland and Ala meda—Snow on the Oregon Line. It is reported upon good authority that the Southern Pacific will soon change the Oakland system into vestibule trains, and thus attempt to do away with the deadhead travel. The cars, it is said, are to be constructed in this city. It is thought that as soon as the rail road company takes full possession of the Oregon road, the end of the division will be changed from Ashland to Grant's Pass, where the company now has all necessary machine shops. In fact, all the line repairing for Southern Oregon is done at Grant's Pass. The contractors of Castle Crag Tavern at Lower Soda Springs, Shasta County, intend to give a ball in the new hotel about the 15th of this month. The new hotel will be a great attraction itself, and people will have the satisfaction of say ing they attended the first dance given in the tavern. About five inches of snow fell at Duns muir, on the Oregon Division, last week. The men in the shops have been work ing night and day to get the plows ready to fight it. Superintendent Agler has the plows out on the Siskiyou keeping the track clear, where about three feet of snow has fallen. He does not intend to take the Cyclone out until the very last resort. He seems to have less faith in it than he has in the Rotary. Mr. Agler is used to fighting snow, and so is Joe Mott, the Roadmaster, so they are likely to keep the road clear if anyone can. Mr. Lindberry was too fat to get around in the snow r, remarks the Dunsmuir Ifeus. «. A LONELY DEATH. Charles Decker Found Dead In the Hills Near Folsom. On Thursday afternoon, says the Fol som Telegraph of Saturday, Clark Bil lingsby, who has charge of the Kilgore fruit ranch, about two miles from here, went out hunting. During the afternoon he noticod a man lying on the ground, and supposed he was sleeping. On pass ing near the place on his return home he observed the man in the same position, and on going up to him was startled to find that he was dead. He immediately returned to the house and informed a man who works with him of what he had found. It was quite late and dark and they decided to wait until morning to inform the authorities. Yesterday Mr. Biliingsby told Judge i Steele, and the Coroner was at once noti fied. Judge Steele was instructed to hold I an inquest on the remains. The body was found lying in a mining j hole about three hundred yards from the packing house. The dead man wore a short beard and was dressed in overalls and flannel shirt. He had taken off his j shoes and one stocking, and he had i spread his quilt on the ground to lie on, ! taking his coat ofl" and using it as a pil low. Deceased was named Charles Decker and resided around Folsom for years. He was partially paralyzed, and^was not considered very bright mentally. The jury, after investigating the matter, re turned a verdict that the deceased came j to his death from exposure. Officers Elected. At a regular meeting of Sacramento j Lodge, No. 2, I. O. O.

Mattel's In and About Our Neighbor ing Foothill Village. [From the Telegraph, December sth.] We hear of several nuggets being j picked up in the ravines and gulches since the rain commenced falling. This • is usually the case around here. There will be a Christmas tree in Fire men's Hall on Thursday evening, the j 24th, under the auspices of the public' j school. An interesting programme will open the evening's entertainment. The water has been going over the dam in great shape during the last day or so. For a time the openings on the sides near the headgates were of sufficient capacity to accommodate the flow, but the rains and the melting snow in the foothills caused the river to rise too rap j idly for their capacity. On Tuesday last a convict at the prison made an unsuccessful attempt to escape. He had arranged a dummy in his bunk and secreted himself in an outhouse. When the other prisoners were all in he was missed. Search was immediately instituted for him and his hiding place discovered in short order. He is now doing penance for his attempt to gain his freedom. On Monday morning a brakeman named Munn employed on the gravel train had the fingers of one of his hands badly smashed. He was engaged in coupling cars at the time the accident occurred and slipped and fell with his hand between the bumpers as the cars came together. He will be unable to work for a while, but will not have to lose his hand. George Pillican, who resides a short distance from here, was taken with a bad attack of inflammation in one of his knees a short time ago and went to Sacra mento for medical attendance. He has not been progressing as favorably as he expected to, and it is reported that his leg may have to be amputated. We hope that his condition is not as serious as the reports would indicate, and that he will eventually come out all right. Ho is a deserving young man, and all who know him sympathize with him. .*. . Salt rheum often appears in cold weather, attacking the palms of the hands and other parts of the body.

THE TRACT OF LAND TO WHICH THE above name has been given Is located only 4 miles southeast trom Newcastle.a thriving town of Placer County, v railroad station on the line of the Central Pacific. The town's of Newcastle and Penryn, both stations on the same road and the leading fruit B-Upplnz points of Central California, are only 4 miles over an excellent wagon road," winding through beautiful foothill scenery passing ]ar<ie and thrifty orchards a:id \ in. yards* The elevation is 930 feet at Newcastle, being above the range Of fogs and not too far inland to escape tiie cool evening breeze which comes so refreshing from the ocean. The evening- In this locality are delightful. The county" seat is only ? miles away, at the town of Auburn where hundreds of people with lung com plaint congregate every year. This place id -amended by leading physicians So much for the surroundings and now for the land and a plan for selling. The tract originally contained 476 acres, which has been subdivided into lots of 20 acres, with a road leading from tiie county road to each lot so all will have an open drive to and lrom their land. The soil is of a dark color, deep rich and easily cultivated. It is all cleared ol underbrush, which is a great savin- to a be ginner, a-s the usual cost of clearing land is not less than §20 per acre. Nearly every lot has wood enough for family use for Coin grows without Irrigation; in (act no irri gation is needed for anything planted s aV a berries.
